Two of my good friends recently celebrated their birthdays, and the rule is: you're a princess the entire week of your birthday. Shauna & Rob came from Sun Valley to celebrate Shauna's birthday and Kristin & Michael from St. George came and stayed for the weekend. The next week, it was Heather's birthday, so Stephanie & I took her out to dinner. It was so fun to catch up w/ these good friends. Happy Birthday, girls!!
UPDATE: Stephanie's birthday was Nov. 5th, so we celebrated hers too! The food at Epic was so beautiful, we had to take pictures!

Brian & Jordan visit Utah
Last week we had a rare and lovely opportunity to see our brother Brian and his son Jordan. Brian had to work at the SLC airport to resolve a "million-dollar problem," and Jordan attended a youth conference with Liahona Academy at Aspen Grove all week. Shaunna & Keith and I got to go out to dinner with Brian Wednesday night, then I had him over and we hung out with Jeremy. Brian even taught us how to install a new light fixture. Yeah - I feel so empowered now!!!
Friday afternoon we met up with Brian & Jordan and played a mean game of miniature golf at the new Liberty Land Fun Center in Lehi. Jordan beat us all. Personally, I blame the cold weather for my poor score...hehehe. It was so cold and windy this weekend! Winter is upon us! Anyway, then we went to dinner at Citris Grill in Draper, where Jeremy met us. We all had a great dinner, enjoying a great variety of appetizers and entrees. Then we hung out and talked until our movie started - City of Ember. It was a kids' adventure movie and pretty entertaining. We all enjoyed it. Jordan turned 15 on Thursday, so it was fun to be together for his birthday celebration.
Saturday morning, Jordan and Brian came to my house and we fixed scrambled eggs and pancakes and hung out awhile before they left for their next adventure before heading to the airport to return home to Seattle.
I'm so mad at myself for not taking more pictures while we were together - especially Friday. But at least we got a few Saturday morning.
It was so great to be with family and catch up. I couldn't believe how much Jordan had changed, but then again, I haven't seen him in probably 4-5 years and hadn't seen any pictures of him in a few years. Crazy how fast kids grow up. Jordan was our first nephew born 15 years ago, just before I got home from my mission. Such craziness... Anyway, great to see you guys!!!
